The Paikins


Jacob Ze'ev Wulff

Hinde

Descendants of Jacob (Ze'ev/Wulf) Paikin


Jacob (Ze'ev/Wulf) Paikin's great-grand child, Gilbert Herbert, now living in Israel, who has done genealogical research for more than 30 years has given all the information about Jacob's descendants, except for some of the information about Yehudah Paikin, which has been given by Yehudah's/Yedid Wulfov's great-grandchild, Arthur Henry Paikin, USA.

The link between Gilbert's and Arthur's families were not previously known, but is a result of the cooperation between members of the Paikin Genalogy Project, particularly Irayne Paikin's and Gilbert's findings in archives in London and finally proven by findings in the Latvian archives.

Unfortunately there are no photos available at present of any of the persons in this Paikin-branch.

FOUND OUT ABOUT ABRAM AND HIS UNCLE!!
MORE INFO TO COME!!

An immigration to South Africa record from 1928:

Paikin, Abram
male
age 19 (i.e. born ca. 1909!)
from Janiski
arriving in South Africa,
on the steamer "Guildford Castle",
October 13, 1928,
going to uncle E. Paikin, POB 148, Krugersdorp, South Africa.

Does anyone know an E. Paikin, who lived in Krugersdorp in the late 1920'ies?

Or an Abraham Paikin from Janiski?

I suppose the Janiski is the: JANISZKI 126.0 miles NNW of Vilnius (a little south of Riga).


There are now one person that I cannot fit in at present, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated:

R. Paikin
born circa 1863 in Suwalki
emigrated ca. 1900 from Kovno
Jan. 1901 he stayed 5 days at the "Shelter" in London
before leaving on the "Doune Castle" for South Africa
He was married, but had no children

Does anyone know this R. Paikin?
